Shower/bathroom panels

1 reply

Limetart · 12/04/2023 09:06

We are refurbishing our bathroom and are considering putting shower panels straight onto the existing tiles.
However I cannot find a nice beige/ cream travertine look in a 4 or 5mm to fit in with existing floor.
10mm and 8mm is too thick.
Grateful for any suggestions.
I also like patterned panels but they are very expensive.

Hi

just a follow up to other comments

yes they look good and are functional.

just one word of warning the bare edges need to be sealed to stop moist/ water ingress. Ideally fit them on the entire wall (top to bottom.

if you cut them to fit around existing bathroom furniture again make sure edges are sealed and that trims are fitted.

we had a builder who had never fitted what were more expensive panels do a couple of bathrooms. Needless to say the first attempt ended up with the laminate over the marine ply blowing around edge of bath. This needed to be repaired as it was a cheaper option than ripping out and having to repair/ replace the plasterboard underneath.

the plastic trims are quite cheap and are used in the corners and over any exposed bits if you are say going to full panel around bath/ shower then part panel around toilet, sink etc
